"Worried about Christmas? No place to turn? Well we might just have the answer to all your worries! The all new super delux Torchwood will put a smile on anybody's face, and ensure a truly great Christmas time this year..."
This week's adition of DigitalSpy's "Tube Talk" column is up and running (at last I might add) and includes spoilers for "Out of Time", and a few sneaky peaks ahead to the remainder of the series. It seems that the writer, Neil Wilkes (the lucky so-and-so) has seen every episode of Torchwood now, including the finale.
You just know he's going to tease us about that over Christmas...
Anyways, onwards and upwards. His scoop - written in oldtime favourite, invisotext!
"Out of Time" - A very strange and potentially controversial episode next week. A plane carrying three passengers takes off in 1953 but lands in modern day Cardiff (hint: thinking about how this may have happened gives you some clues as to how the rest of the series progresses). In a marked change, the episode has no real problem to solve and instead follows the three as they attempt to integrate into 21st century life and develop relationships with Torchwood's finest. There's also steamy sex, assisted suicide and a very strong "anti-smoking" message throughout the ep. Plus there are some more hints about CJ's backstory.
Remainder of the series - To say much about how the series winds up at this point would perhaps be too daring, even for the Spoiler Spot. Instead I'll give you a slow tease in the coming weeks - and look out for a special Doctor Who / Torchwood edition of Tube Talk just before Christmas - but for now I can say that as the series comes to a close, it does borrow a fair bit from elsewhere. Men In Black, Life On Mars, Fight Club and even The Simpsons are echoed in upcoming episodes, but it all builds to a finale that even the most hardened Torchwood cynic would have to agree is stunning. And we have a revelation coming that may knock your socks off.
In other news, next issue of Doctor Who Magazine (released 4th January) promises to take us behind the scenes on the upcoming season finale. Apart from a load of letters loving/hating the series, this month's DWM - released yesterday - is relatively Torchwood-lite, although it does feature a lot of Sarah Jane Adventures gossip, which you can read in full here.
And that's about it for now. If you have any Torchwood news, email it here and I'll post it on the site ASAP. Normally I'd recommend emailing Kurly too, but the man's so busy at the moment moving apartments, I doubt he evn has the time to read his emails.
All together now: "Hurry up Kurly, and get back to the site as fast as you can..."
Or we'll set the spirit of raxacoricofallapatorius upon you!

the writers of 'they keep killing suzie' were spot on with the condition of the dead.it relates directly to the bibles viewpoint(see ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 4)there is nothing after death,this life is all there is(for now).
this may sound heavy and depressing but i just wanted to throw this comment into the torchwood time rift anyway,well done the writers of this episode.
Has anyone read the spoilers and felt they don't really spoil anything?
The only thing it gives me to go on is why the plane landed up in the present day.
Has anybody read the comments for the last couple of episodes. There's one comment about the first time lord "Omega" coming through the rift and 'the doctor's hand saving the day' at first I laughed at it but then I thought. If I was on the team wouldn't I wont to throw something in there that everybody else would assume it tooo fantastic to be true (No I have no connections, I live in Australia for pete's skake).
Just a wacky enough comment to be believeable.
(Update: when I said 'last couple of episodes' I meant Apocalypse (or end of days as the case may be))
Also note how 'Kaled' speaks about how it's "all to do with how the timelords harnessed time". For those of you who are obsessive enough to go to

and view the section on 'THE WEB OF TIME'
Either this guy knew his/her stuff or they just made a very accurate hoax. IN fact either way they really knew their 'stuff'.
What 'revelation'? Captain Jack the long lost son of Who? Susan's father? The end of the circle? When Who goes after his final regeneration? The saviour of BBC's greatest sci-fi series? Would explain so much... Not a 100% bilogical timelord but a bit of it. So that the Time Agency had to erase the memorys when CJ came to know it? An explaination why TARDIS energy could revive the body? And instead of regenerating it simply works self-healing? Never I came accross such an idea but it would suit RTD to stun everybody with this. ;) Cheers from 1953, posted through the rift on behalf of another rogue Time Agent ;)
